Just a heads up -- if you haven't seen this one, try to catch it somewhere. It's got its flaws (and minor, at that), but overall it's excellent. (NOTE: Yes, there is real sex -- lots of it. There is, however, no obscenity.) The director, John Cameron Mitchell, was the guy who did Hedwig and the Angry Inch, and the script was generated from improvs by the cast.

I thought it was wonderfully satirical and deeply subversive.

I've reviewed it both at Eps and at Green Man Review, if you want a more complete sense of it.

Re Shortbus

PS -- saw it again last night. It's pretty much as good as I remembered.
